Awards such as the iD International Emerging Designer Awards are crucial for promoting the Sarah Burtons, Haider Ackermanns and Akira Isogawas of the future. Creativity and construction are important for me when judging awards and I also look for a cohesive vision from the designer that lets me know the journey they wish to share with me through their clothing.”
